IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: Please
READ and SAVE this information
WARNING
Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use
the dishwasher in any way not covered in this manual or for any purpose
other than those explained in the following pages.
Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of
unqualified service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All
repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only
original equipment factory replacement parts.
Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the
dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed or if the
dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dish-
washer covered in this manual unless you are certain the electrical
supply has been correctly installed or the dishwasher has been prop-
erly grounded.
Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-
containing products can damage your dishwasher and may present
health hazards!
Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements
of 6 for soil removal and sanitation efficacy. There is no intention,
either directly or indirectly, to imply that all cycles on a certified
machine have passed the sanitization performance test.
NOTICE
Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The
manufacturer will not be liable for the possible damages or conse-
quences.
It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the
procedure to shut off the incoming water supply and the procedure to
shut off the incoming power supply. See the Installation Instructions or
contact your installer for more information.
NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for
licensed food establishments.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, or serious injury, observe the following:
1 This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this
Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before
using the dishwasher.
2 This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring sys-
tem, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the
circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding ter-
minal or lead on the dishwasher. See the Installation Instructions
included with this dishwasher for more information on electrical
requirements.
3 Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the
washing of household dishware and kitchenware.
4 Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a
dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
5 When loading items to be washed:
• Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.
Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP
to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher
safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check
the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels
are in place.
• Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
6 Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dish-
washer.
7 To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the
dishwasher.
8 When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is
the legal responsibility of the parents/legal guardians to ensure
the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
9 Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot
water system that has not been used for two weeks or more.
Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before using a dishwasher that is con-
nected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks
or longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from
each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydro-
gen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
10 Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when
removing an old dishwasher for service or discarding.
11 To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow
wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
12 Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freez-
ing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by
freezing is not covered by the warranty.
5
13 This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appli-
ance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding con-
ductor.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified elec-
trician or service representative if you are in doubt whether
the appliance is properly grounded.

Dishware Materials
Note: Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check the information in
this section. Some items are not dishwasher safe and should be hand washed;
others require special loading.
Recommended
Aluminum: Colored anodized aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in
your water may cause the aluminum to darken or spot. This can usually be
removed with a soap-filled steel wool pad.
China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some hand-painted utensils may discolor,
fade or spot. Hand wash these utensils. Position fragile glassware so that
it will not topple over or come in contact with other utensils during the
wash cycle.
Glass: Milk glass may discolor or become yellow.
Non-stick Coatings: Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick sur-
faces after drying.
Plastics: Make sure the plasticware is dishwasher safe.
Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver and Silver Plates: Load these so they do
not come in contact with other metals.
Not Recommended
Acrylic: Crazing or small cracks throughout the acrylic may occur.
Adhesive-Joined Pieces: Adhesives that join materials such as plastic,
wood, bone, steel copper, tin, etc. may loosen.
Bone-Handled Utensils: Handles may separate.
Iron: Iron will rust. Hand wash and dry immediately.
Non-Dishware Items: Your dishwasher is intended for use in cleaning ONLY
standard household dishware and kitchenware.
Pewter, Brass, Bronze: These items will tarnish. Hand wash and dry
immediately.
Tin: Tin will stain. Hand wash and dry immediately.
Wood: Wooden bowls, wooden utensils and utensils with wooden handles
can crack, warp and lose their finish.
Loading the Dishwasher
Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached soiling. Remove all food parti-
cles, bones, toothpicks and excessive grease. Items having burned-on, baked-
on or starchy soils may require some pretreatment. Refer to the Dishware
Materials section for more information about dishware suitability.

Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block
the spray arms.
Note: When pushing the top rack into the dishwasher, push it until it stops
against the back of the tub so the top rack spray arm connects to the water sup-
ply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the door.
Loading the Bottom Rack
Place large items in the bottom rack. Load pots, pans and bowls upside
down. Do not block vent with tall baking sheets or cutting boards, etc.
Load these items on the left side of the dishwasher.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with paper prod-
ucts, plastic bags, packing materials or anything other than normal, dish-
washer safe dishware and kitchenware.

Loading the Silverware Basket
Place knives and sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP and forks and
spoons with their handles down. If large or oddly-shaped items are loaded
in the silverware basket, be sure they do not nest together.
WARNING
The sharp points and edges of knives and other sharp utensils can cause
serious injury. Load knives and other sharp utensils with edges down. Do
not allow children to handle or play near knives and sharp utensils.
The Long Silverware Basket
The long silverware basket fits along the side of the lower
rack.
The Duo-Flex Silverware Basket
This basket splits along its length, resulting in two halves
that may be placed in a variety of positions in the lower
rack, greatly increasing the lower rack’s loading versatil-
ity. The basket snaps together either back to back or end
to end as shown.
To split the Duo-Flex Silverware Basket
Grasp the basket and slide the two halves in opposite
directions as shown at right and then pull the two halves
apart.

Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best
results, use detergent tabs or fresh powdered dish washing detergent.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dish washing products in
your dishwasher.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your
water is soft. Using too much detergent with soft water may cause etch-
ing in glassware.
This dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is
required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean
most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure deter-
gent to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons
(45ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 1 tablespoon
(15ml) of detergent. Increase the amount if neces-
sary to the least amount required to get your kitch-
enware clean.
Use the measuring lines in the detergent dis-
penser cup as a guide to measure the amount of
detergent recommended in Table 1.
Adding Detergent
1 tablespoon (15ml) will clean most loads
(see Figure 6).
Do not use more than 3 tablespoons
(45ml).
Do not over fill the detergent dispenser.
When using detergent tabs, lay them such that
they do not come in contact with the cover.
To Close
Place finger as shown in Figure 7.
Slide door closed and press down firmly
until it clicks.
To Open
To open the cover, push the button as
shown in Figure 8. Cover will slide open.

Rinse Aid
Your dishwasher was designed to use rinse aid for best drying results. To
achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse aid, even if your deter-
gent contains a rinse aid or drying additive.
Note: The dishwasher indicates low rinse aid by turning on the “Add Rinse
Aid” indicator light. If this light is on, you need to refill the rinse aid dispenser
by following the directions below. If the light is not on, your dishwasher still
has enough Rinse Aid and there is no need to refill it.
Adding Rinse Aid
Add liquid rinse aid to the dispenser until it is
full (see Figure 9). Wipe up any excess rinse aid
that may puddle when the dispenser reservoir is
full. Lid must be snapped fully closed in order
to seal. The indicator light will go out a few
moments after the dishwasher door is shut.
See below for instructions on how to adjust the
amount of rinse aid dispensed.
Note: Setting the rinse aid to “r:00” may increase
cycle times.
Setting the amount of rinse aid
The amount of rinse aid dispensed can be set from “r:00” to “r:06”.
1 Press the [On/Off] button.
2 Hold down the A” button (see page 15) and press [Start] until the
display indicates “d:00”. Release both buttons.
3 Press the “A” button until the display shows “r:05”.

Dishwasher Cycles and Options
Wash Cycles
Heavy: Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These
dishes would normally require soaking.
Auto: With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect
for use with mixed loads of dishware and varying amounts of food soil.
This is the most flexible cycle and is a good choice for everyday use.
Normal:
Thoroughly cleans a full load of normally soiled dishes.
Note: The Energy Guide Label was based on this soil sensing cycle with all
available options turned off. As prescribed in the energy test procedure, the
unit was tested without any Rinse Aid in the Rinse Aid dispenser. A single
dose of detergent was used in the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent
used in the prewash. The test was conducted with the upper rack in the
upper position (for Manual Adjustable Racks) or the middle position (for
RackMatic Racks). See Appendix A for Energy Test load pattern.
Speed60™*: Cleans freshly soiled dishes with easy to remove soils. This
cycle reduces cycle time while still including drying.
Rinse*: Allows you to rinse food soil off of a partial load and hold the
dishes in the dishwasher until you are ready to run a full load. Do not
use detergent in this cycle.
Wash Cycle Options
Delay Start: Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher up to 24
hours.
SpeedPerfect
*
: Reduces cycle time by up to 25% while maintaining
cleaning performance.
Delicate: The Delicate option is available only in the Heavy, Auto and
Normal cycles. This cycle is best used for lightly soiled items with easy
to remove food soils.
Sanitize: The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Nor-
mal cycles. The Sanitize LED will light when sanitation requirements are
met. The technical sanitation measures may also improve the drying results.
Note: The dishwasher automatically defaults to Auto when turned off and
back on. If you used the sanitize option in your last cycle, the dishwasher will
default to Auto Wash with the Sanitize option selected when you turn it on.
Extra Shine™: Used in combination with a wash cycle (except Rinse), the
Extra Shine option raises the temperature and extends the drying time to
further enhance drying results and provide a brilliant shine.

Wash Cycle Information
Note: To save energy, this dishwasher has EcoSense® where the sensors in the dish-
washer automatically adjust the cycle length, temperature and water changes based on
the amount of food soil and the incoming water temperature. The “Smart Control” makes
decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. Wash
cycle times are based on 120°F water supply. If your household water supply is differ-
ent than 120°F, your dishwasher’s cycle times may be impacted.
Note: Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of 6
for soil removal and sanitization efficacy. There is no intention, either directly
or indirectly, to imply that all cycles have passed sanitization performance
tests.

Care and Maintenance
A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to pre-
vent faults. This saves time and prevents future problems.
Overall condition of the machine
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is
not liable for any resulting damage.
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth - water and a
small amount of liquid soap is adequate. Do not use sponges as they
could scratch the surfaces.
Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, do not use sponges.
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris
that may collect from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stain-
less steel, make sure the rinse agent is full and functioning properly.
WARNING
Use caution when removing parts for cleaning as
some debris may be sharp.
Filters
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat
fine filter and a micro filter. The filters keep large
foreign objects in the rinsing water away from
the pump. Foreign objects may occasionally
block the filters.
Check the filters for residue by:
• Unscrew the filter cylinder as illustrated in Fig-
ure 10-11 and take out the filter system.
• Remove any residue and clean filters under
running water.
• Reinstall filter system in reverse sequence and
ensure that the arrow marks are facing each
other after locking it into place.
Spray Arms
Check spray arms for grease and limescale
deposits.
If you find such deposits:
• Fill detergent dispenser with detergent and
start the appliance without utensils in the
cycle with the highest rinsing temperature
(see wash cycle information table).
• Clean the appliance with detergents/ appli-
ance cleaners which are particularly suitable
for use with dishwashers.
• Unscrew the spray arms and inspect as shown in Figure 12.
19
Waste water pump
Large food remnants in the rinsing water not retained by the filters
may block the waste water pump.
Notice: Use caution when removing any blockage as items causing
blockage may be sharp.
In this case:
• Disconnect the appliance from the power sup-
ply.
• Remove the filters (Figure 10-11).
• Scoop out standing water - use a sponge if
necessary.
• Using a spoon, pry off the pump cover (see
Figure 13), then grip the cover and pull
upward until it resists and then pull for-
ward.
• Check inner compartment and remove any
foreign objects.
• Place cover in the original position, press down
and engage until it clicks (see Figure 14).
Preparing your unit for vacation
Before leaving for vacation during warmer weather, besides turning off
the main valve, also turn off water supply at the nearest point to the
dishwasher. During colder weather, please follow the instructions for
winterizing your unit below.
Winterizing your unit
If your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time in a
location that experiences freezing temperatures (holiday home or
through a vacation period), have your dishwasher winterized by an au-
thorized professional service.

Self Help
Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems that are unrelated to a mal-
function of the dishwasher itself. The following information may help you
with a dishwasher problem without involving a repair professional.
Problem Cause Action
Dishwasher
does not
start
1. Door may not be properly latched
2. Unit may not be turned on
3. Unit not reset or previous cycle not
completed
4. Delay start engaged
5. Interruption of electrical power
supply to dishwasher or blown fuse
6. The door may have been closed
without first selecting a cycle
7. Water supply may not be turned on
1. Shut the door completely until you
hear a click
2. Press the main power switch to
turn unit on
3. To reset, refer to “Cancel a Cycle”
in this manual
4. To reset, refer to “Delay Start” in
the “Wash Cycles and Options” sec-
tion in this manual
5. Check circuit breaker
6. Select a cycle and close the door
7. Check and turn on water supply
Display
does not
illuminate
1. A fuse may have been blown or cir-
cuit breaker tripped
2. Door not closed or latched
Note: For models with controls on top
of the door, the display only illuminates
when the door is opened and controls
are visible.
1. Check the fuse or circuit breaker
box and replace the fuse or reset the
breaker if necessary
2. Ensure door is properly latched and
completely closed
Dishwasher
seems to
run a long
time
1. Incoming water is not warm enough
2. Cycle time can vary due to soil and
water conditions
3. Rinse agent dispenser is empty
4. Dishwasher connected to cold
water supply
Note: Refer to “Wash Cycle Information”
section in this manual for typical cycle
lengths.
1. Before starting a cycle, run hot
water faucet at the sink closest to the
dishwasher
2. Sensors in the dishwasher auto-
matically increase the cycle time to
ensure a good wash when heavy soil
is detected
3. Add rinse aid
4. Verify dishwasher is connected to
hot water supply plumbing
Dishes are
not getting
dry enough
1. Rinse agent dispenser is empty
2. Improper loading of dishes
3. Selected cycle does not include
drying
Note: Plastic or Teflon do not typically dry as
well as other items due to their inherent
properties.
1. Add rinse agent - the use of rinse
agent improves drying
2. Rearrange load to ensure items are
not nesting (see “Loading the Dish-
washer” section of the manual)
3. Rinse cycle does not include drying
Note: Select models offer an extra heating
option to improve drying performance.
